python script with scp

Question

Hello community!

I would like to set up a Python script allowing me to be able to retrieve a file present on a linux machine to my machine.
And this by connecting in SCP on the Linux machine.
Can anyone tell me how to edit my script? I can't find the right wording.

Thanks in avance !

Idk, but maybe you are looking for something like this:

Answer 2

Yeah i wrote a version of that. use the os module

os.system("scp <file> <location>")

if you like linux though just learn bash and write a script, then pop it in your usr/bin/ so you can call it as a program.
